Petition tcm for 3d broadcasts? - Blu-ray Forum

Just had an idea.

Perhaps TCM can start airing the 3D versions of films they have in their collection already, like Kiss Me Kate, Dial M For Murder and House of Wax (not to mention the upcoming Those Red Heads from Seattle) with the use of anaglyph glasses that can be ordered through TCM or obtained locally at a nominal cost.

By advertising these airings in advance, this could help gain interest in 3D in general. Though not blu ray 3D quality, it can still give the viewer an idea the additional enjoyment that only 3D can deliver. TCM can even mention advancements over anaglyph in their movie summaries.

Just like Sunday Night Silents and Foreign Film classics, a time slot maybe every other week or so could be made for classic 3D.

I'm assuming TCM might have considered such an idea before. Perhaps there are copyright issues at stake, like owning the 2D contents only (just grabbing at straws on that one but if so, am sure those who own such 3D rights would love to have their product publicized in such fashion).

Maybe some cards and letters on their website can give them a nudge?

Anyone think this is a good idea?:
